	*[[Principles of Health Physics]]		Our Mission: The early vision for the site, while resources are limited, is to focus on the "how" over the "what." Many resources tell you what radiation safety is, but fail to explain how we actually do it. This is a living repository for the "institutional knowledge" of health physics. It is the practical, field-tested methods used to design, verify, and maintain radiation safety in complex environments.

			'''The Scope: "How," Not "What"'''
			To keep our content high-value and unique, we are currently asking contributors to focus on application over theory:

			*'''Skip the Definitions:''' We assume our users know what an Alpha particle is or how an Ion Chamber works. Avoid writing an article defining "Lead Shielding."
			*'''Document the Process:''' Do write an article on how to stagger lead bricks to prevent streaming, how to use a 10-curie source to verify a bunker's integrity, or how you solved a "shine" issue in a legacy facility.
			*'''Focus on Verification:''' If you are documenting a safety control, tell us how you tested it. What meter did you use? What was the geometry of the survey? What did the raw data look like?
			*'''Share the "Gotchas":''' The most valuable information is often what didn't work. Documenting failed shielding designs or unexpected scatter patterns helps the next physicist avoid the same mistakes.
			*'''In short:''' If a student can find it in a textbook, it probably doesn't belong here just yet. If a health physicist can only find it in their field notes or conference presentations, we want it!
